The InquisitrLa 'Porsha, finalist in AI15, mentions Adam in her interview.. As for who she has voted for as an American Idol fan, La’Porsha has been quick to tor her love for Adam Lambert. While Lambert didn’t win his season of the show, he is one of the most successful post-Idol success stories, proving you don’t have to win the TV singing competition to be a winner. “I voted for Adam! My whole family. We had three phones each, we voted for him every way we could…How do you get better, Adam? Come on, now. And then he has the nerve to have that high-pitched voice, you know, throwing out all kind of Whitney Houston notes and all that. I’m a woman and I can’t get that high!” www.inquisitr.com/2970062/laporsha-renae-gets-votes-from-kelly-clarkson-ruben-studdard-and-more-for-american-idol-finale/#cUp8kTOVS75J1m7g.99

watchng the Ad docu. I think why mw resonated so well. Is i beleive it spoke of Adam. But like Elvis. Adam has this rare innate ability. No matter if its hundreds of thousands of ppl. Or ten. He feels like hes singing to you and you alone. To connect with the masses on that lvl. Really gave birth to a future music legend. Adam and Kelly well forever be the true embodiment of what idol stood for. But ironically is why Adam lost. What he stood for was not what a certain subset of the audience voted for. Your singing for America so you better carry the flag. Adam was not that. He was so different ans unique. Audience just preferred the other guy. But the audience he did connect with on such a deep lvl. The consumers. Are who mattered. Adam singing Beth was my all time fav idol moment. Kimberly Locke, one of AI contestant, said Adam's so out of the box and most people didn't know how to make out of him and didn't know what to do with him, including Sony. Head of Sony at that time said Adam's so full of talent but they don't know what to do and how to market him.. When he was in AI he's right in your face and so not your next door neighbor, that's why I think the word "He's an alien" comes from. So IMO, America felt/feel safer with the other guy. Only some brave chosen souls that brave enough to follow and admire him, US. In spite of the fact that Adam was so very different from anything ever seen on American Idol, I still believe that Adam was the most popular Idol contestant almost every week he was on the show during his season. I believe KA won because he had a fantastic organizational team working for him at his college and the state of Arkansas in general. There were large stadiums of people who were taught how to send multiple text votes. This, and the whole state getting behind their favorite son, was what won him the AI crown, IMO. Good for him. This does not mean that all of America preferred Kris to Adam, even though there were some organizations who preferred that the next American Idol not be a homosexual. Yes, Adam is very different. Idol capitalized on this by introducing the "guy next door vs. guyliner" meme. Adam commented on this during the Michael Slezak interview, stating that the guy with guyliner could live next door to you and be very nice!" Of course, Adam made some early career decisions which have greatly affected his popularity with the general public and may have exacerbated his being seen as "polarizing." I am one of those people who happen to agree with Scott Borchetta on this. What happened to him would have obliterated any person of lesser talent and star power. BUT look where he is now! He has excellent management and a label that truly gets him. He keeps evolving and getting better and better!
